SUP Fitness

A 1-hour stand-up paddle fitness lesson led by the specialised instructors of the Sport Service. Exercises in strength, balance, coordination and endurance will be offered on board the stand-up paddle on the waters of the Ceresio.

Exercises performed on an unstable surface such as water make execution more complex, stimulating a greater ability to balance and control one's body. 

Level

To participate safely, it is essential to have some basic skills in SUP (Stand Up Paddle).

In particular, you are required to:
- Know how to swim;
- Lead the SUP independently, i.e.:
o Maintain an upright position on the board;
o Turn and manoeuvre correctly;
o Paddle upwind;
o Manage the board even in waves or unfavourable conditions.

The lesson includes physical exercises performed directly on the board, so it is essential to have mastery of SUP handling, both to get the most out of the experience and to ensure the safety of the group.

In the absence of such skills, participation will not be permitted and access to the class will be denied by the instructor. If you have any doubts about the possibility of participating in the class, please contact us at sport@usi.ch.
